Valentines Day is NOT only for Lovers

Why it is when we think about Valentines Day we think only of lovers, special relationships.

Why can't on Valentines Day we think about not only the special people in our lives, but, also think about ourselves. There is a saying, "if you don't love yourself, you will never be able to love others."

You may ask, "how do I love myself?". Here are some suggestions that you can do on Valentines Day to love yourself.

1. Look around you and appreciate those who care about you.
be thankful they are in your life.

2. Make a list of all the things you like about yourself.
Don't be modest; this list is for you, no one else.

3. Treat yourself on Valentines Day.
Buy that one thing that you want - it doesn't have to be expensive, but it has to be a treat that you will enjoy.

4. Call your mum or your dad, or that someone who made a difference in your life.
Thank them for caring about you.

5. Enjoy your day.
Remember, "what you do today is important because you are exchanging a day of your life for it."

6. Take 5 minutes and sit quietly and reflect on all the blessings in your life.
Remember there are always those who are in a worse situation than you.

8. Don't be hard on yourself.
When you hear yourself say, "I should have", or "I am so stupid", change your thought. Loving yourself by changing your self-talk to positive self-talk. Would you say those things to your best friend, then, why say them to yourself?

9. Cook or buy your favourite meal for dinner.
Enjoy!

10. Last but not least, start keeping a journal of your accomplishments.
Then when you feel down, or feel that you are not making progress you can review your journal and it will remind you of all the accomplishments you have achieved. And, remember, it is not large accomplishments that makes success, it is the little things we do every day that over time turn into success.

Blessings Sayings and Quotes

Reflect on your present blessings of which every man has many, not on your past misfortunes, of which all men have some.
Charles Dickens


"May God give you ... : for every storm a rainbow, for every tear a smile, for every care a promise & a blessing in each trial. For every problem life sends, a faithful friend to share, for every sigh a sweet song & an answer for each prayer"
 Irish Blessing


When we lose one blessing, another is often most unexpectedly given in its place.
C.S. Lewis


Power is no blessing in itself, except when it is used to protect the innocent.
Jonathan Swift


Prayers go up and blessings come down.
Yiddish Proverb


Better to lose count while naming your blessings than to lose your blessings to counting your troubles.
Maltbie D. Babcock


May your days be many and your troubles be few.
May all God's blessings descend upon you.
May peace be within you may your heart be strong.
May you find what you're seeking wherever you roam.
Irish Blessing


Count your blessings. Once you realize how valuable you are and how much you have going for you, the smiles will return, the sun will break out, the music will play, and you will finally be able to move forward the life that God intended for you with grace, strength, courage, and confidence.
Og Mandino


Take 5 minutes and sit quietly and reflect on all the blessings in your life.
Catherine Pulsifer, from Valentines Day is NOT only for Lovers

Bless Your Children

by Victoria Osteen

We want our kids to be blessed



As parents, we can profoundly influence the direction of our children's lives by the words we say to them. Yet many parents fail to do so. "Oh, my kids know that I love them," a lot of parents say. "They know that I pray for them." Maybe so, but your children need to hear those words of blessing in their lives. And the good news is that it is not difficult to change the tone around your home. You can begin speaking positive truth into your children's lives any time you want. Joel and I try to speak God's Word into the lives of children in our natural, ordinary, "everyday" circumstances of life. For instance, when I drop our kids off at school, before they even get out of the car, I remind them, "You are blessed today. You have the favor of God."

Parents, you can do something similar. Speak God's Word over your children every day before they go to school or go out to play. You don't need to preach a sermon; just say something like, "God's Word says that He loves you, and He has something special in store for you today!"

Or pray, "You promised me in Psalm 91 that You will give Your angels charge over us and that no evil would come near our household. So I thank You that my children are supernaturally protected, and You are guiding them and watching after them. Father, You said that we're the head and not the tail, and You will surround us with favor. So I thank You that my children are blessed, and they will excel at whatever they put their hands to do."




Whether we realize it or not, our words affect our children's future for either good or evil. We need to speak loving words of approval and acceptance, words that encourage, inspire, and motivate our children to reach for new heights. When we do that, we are speaking blessings into their lives. We are speaking abundance and increase. We’re declaring God's favor in their lives

All too often, parents slip into being harsh and critical with their children, nitpicking, and easily finding fault in whatever the kids are doing. "Why can't you make better grades? Go clean your room–it looks like a pigpen! You can't do anything right, can you?"

Such negative words will cause our children to lose the sense of value God has placed within them. Certainly, as parents, we have a responsibility before God and society to train our children, to discipline them when they disobey, to lovingly correct them when they make wrong choices. But we should not constantly harp on our kids. If you continually speak words that discourage and dishearten, before long you will destroy your child's self–image. And with your negative words, you will open a door, allowing the enemy to bring all sorts of insecurity and inferiority into your child's life.

YOU HAVE THE RESPONSIBILITY
TO BLESS YOUR CHILDREN

Remember, if you make the mistake of constantly speaking negative words over your children, you are cursing their future. Moreover, God will hold you responsible for destroying their destiny. With authority comes responsibility, and you have the responsibility as the spiritual authority over your child to make sure that he feels loved, accepted, and approved. You have the responsibility to bless your children.



Besides, we all want good things for our children. We want our kids to be blessed. Why not put those thoughts and feelings into words? As Joel likes to say, "A blessing isn't really a blessing until it is spoken." Say those words aloud that will bless your children: "You are a child of God. God has good things in store for you. You are blessed and cannot be cursed!" Then watch to see how your child begins to thrive, how his attitude about himself will change, how her actions with others will improve, as the blessings of God begin to take root in the lives of your children.

Mengejar Mimpi


Kita tak bisa menggantungkan diri
Karena jiwa-jiwa yang tergantung akan menjadi beban dan ketika ia terputus dari gantungan ia akan merana, tanpa bisa melakukan apa-apa....

Satu-satunya jalan terbaik dalam hidup adalah lepas dari ketergantungan
Terbang bebas seperti elang
Meraih mimpi dan menggapai puncak kesuksesan

Seperti kita yang saat ini bergerak mencapai mimpi-mimpi
Seperti kita yang tidak pernah berhenti bergerak

Seperti alunan lagu maju tak gentar
Maka begitulah kita yang selalu bergerak menggapai semua mimpi

Maka jangan menyerah, selama kita hidup
Karena kehidupan itu memang untuk diperjuangkan


__motivasihidup.com__

Your Past Has Passed

One of the most liberating realisations you can have on your road to success is that your past does not dictate your future.


Many people make the mistake of referring to their past in order to obtain a prediction of their future. They say things like:

"My last two business ventures have failed so I guess I’ll never have a successful business"

Or

"I’ve always had problematic relationships so I guess I’ll never meet the right person"


It’s very important to realise that no matter what has happened in the past, your future is still an open field of possibilities.

Many of the world’s most successful people have achieved their success after perservering in the face of hardship and failure. For example:
  • The Beatles were turned down by the Decca recording company but they went on to become one of the most successful bands of all time.
  • Michael Jordan was cut from his high school basket ball team but he went on to become one of the most successful basketball players in the world.
  • Joanne Rowling struggled through a collapsed marriage and occasionally had to skip meals to make sure she had enough money to feed her four month old baby but she went on to sell over 400 million copies of her books and become the highest earning novelist in history.
As these examples show, past failures and hardships do not exclude you from future success. In fact it is often through failure that people develop the skills and strength of character they need to succeed.

No matter how many times you have failed in the past, always remember this important fact:

Your Past Does Not Dictate Your Future

As you read this article, your future is filled with endless possibilities – there are new opportunities waiting to be discovered, new relationships waiting to blossom and new adventures waiting to begin.

So I encourage you today to turn away from the failures of the past and instead look forward to creating your future success.

Dance With My Father


Back when I was a child
Before life removed all the innocence
My father would lift me high
And dance with my mother and me and then

Spin me around till I fell asleep
Then up the stairs he would carry me
And I knew for sure
I was loved

If I could get another chance
Another walk, another dance with him
I’d play a song that would never, ever end
How I’d love, love, love to dance with my father again

When I and my mother would disagree
To get my way I would run from her to him
He’d make me laugh just to comfort me, yeah, yeah
Then finally make me do just what my mama said

Later that night when I was asleep
He left a dollar under my sheet
Never dreamed that he
Would be gone from me

If I could steal one final glance
One final step, one final dance with him
I’d play a song that would never, ever end
Cause I’d love, love, love to dance with my father again

Sometimes I’d listen outside her door
And I’d hear how my mama crying for him
I pray for her even more than me
I pray for her even more than me

I know I’m praying for much too much
But could You send back the only man she loved
I know You don’t do it usually
But dear Lord, she’s dying to dance with my father again

Every night I fall asleep
And this is all I ever dream

__Luther Vandross__

Yang Terbaik Bagimu



Teringat masa kecilku kau peluk dan kau manja
Indahnya saat itu buatku melambung
Disisimu terngiang hangat napas segar harum tubuhmu
Kau tuturkan segala mimpi-mimpi serta harapanmu

Kau inginku menjadi yang terbaik bagimu
Patuhi perintahmu jauhkan godaan
Yang mungkin ku lakukan dalam waktu ku beranjak dewasa
Jangan sampai membuatku terbelenggu jatuh dan terinjak

Reff:
Tuhan tolonglah sampaikan sejuta sayangku untuknya
Ku terus berjanji tak kan khianati pintanya
Ayah dengarlah betapa sesungguhnya ku mencintaimu
Kan ku buktikan ku mampu penuh maumu

Andaikan detik itu kan bergulir kembali
Ku rindukan suasana basuh jiwaku
Membahagiakan aku yang haus akan kasih dan sayangmu
Tuk wujudkan segala sesuatu yang pernah terlewati

__ADABAND feat. Gita Gutawa__


Bless Your Enemies

HOPE FOR TODAY ..... Thoughts on .. LIFE ..

By. Joel Osteen
http://www.joelosteen.com/HopeForToday/ThoughtsOn/Life/Pages/Life.aspx

One time in the Old Testament, King David was walking down the street and a young man started making fun of him, calling him names and even throwing rocks at him. He followed him everywhere that he went, just pestering him, wanting to pick a fight and trying to aggravate him. Finally, a man who was with David basically said, "Do you want us to put a stop to him? Do you want us to shut him up? He is a real pain." I love the way David answered him. He said, "No, let him keep talking. Maybe God will hear him and bless me for it." (See 2 Samuel 16:5-14)

When somebody is talking about us, instead of getting upset and trying to defend ourselves, we need to have the same attitude as David and believe God will hear what they're saying and bless us for it.

Jesus said in Luke 6:35, "Love your enemies, and do good and lend, expecting nothing in return; and your reward will be great."

Every day I say, "God, bless my enemies, those people that criticize, talk about me, and try to make me look bad. God, give them a great day today." When you do that, the more they talk, the higher you're going to go. Sometimes I feel like I even need to thank my enemies! If it had not been for them, I wouldn't be where I am today. They meant their talk and criticism to bring me down, but God used it to push me up higher.

If somebody is trying to make you look bad by spreading rumors and telling lies, really, they have done you a favor. What they mean for your harm, God is going to use to promote you. I know this to be true because we have never tried to answer our critics. The more they talk, the more God promotes us. The more they talk, the higher we go.

Maybe at the office somebody is trying to make you look bad, talking behind your back, taking things out of context. It's very tempting to be critical back and think, "Two can play this game. They said this about me. Well, let me tell you what I know about them." No, don't sink down to their level. Don't let their poison cloud your heart. Learn to bless your enemies.

When we know that God is our vindicator and rewards us when we don't take matters into our own hands, that takes all the pressure off. We don't have to try to pay people back and get involved in battles that don't really matter and set the record straight. Let God fight your battles for you. If you will stay on the high road, God will take what others mean for harm, and He will use it to your advantage.

When we learn to bless our enemies and pray for those who persecute us, we keep our heart free from strife and give God more room to bless us, promote us, and speak to us more.

Remember, don't become weary in doing good. At the proper time, you'll reap a harvest if you don't give up. That means, keep doing good to others whenever you're persecuted. Keep doing the right thing, even when the wrong thing is happening. Keep a good attitude. Keep praying for those who keep talking about you. Before long, you'll see God's blessings in greater ways, and what might have seemed like a stumbling block to you, God will use as stepping stone to thrust you higher.

"Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good." Romans 12:17-21

He is LORD

Oh blessed lamb once slain
Will reign forever more
His hands once bound now save
Our God will never fail

He is Lord
He is Lord
Sings my soul
He is Lord
And He lives
Yes He lives
I'm alive 'cause Jesus lives

'Tis at the cross of Christ
Where earth and heaven meet
Where sin is overcome
To God the victory

And now
Let the earth resound with praise
For our Saviour God He reigns
He is high and lifted up
Arise
For the King of glory waits
He is coming back again


When The Children Cry

Little child

Dry your crying eyes
How can I explain
The fear you feel inside
Cause you were born
Into this evil world

Where man is killing man
But no one knows just why
What have we become
Just look what we have done
All that we destroyed
You must build again

When the children cry
Let them know we tried
Cause when the children sing
Then the new world begins

Little child
You must show the way
To a better day
For all the young
Cause you were born
For all the world to see

That we all can live
With love and peace
No more presidents
And all the wars will end
One united world
Under God

When the children cry
Let them know we tried
Cause when the children sing
Then the new world begins

What "have we" become
Just look what we have done
All that we destroyed
You must build again
No more presidents
And all the wars will end
One united world
Under God

When the children cry
Let them know we tried
When the children fight
Let them know it ain't right
When the children pray
Let them know the way
Cause when the children sing
Then the new world begins

Desert Song



This is my prayer in the desert
And all that's within me feels dry
This is my prayer in the hunger in me
My God is a God who provides

And this is my prayer in the fire
In weakness or trial or pain
There is a faith proved
Of more worth than gold
So refine me Lord through the flames

Chorus:

And I will bring praise
I will bring praise
No weapon forged against me shall remain

I will rejoice
I will declare
God is my victory and He is here

And this is my prayer in the battle
And triumph is still on it's way
I am a conqueror and co-heir with Christ
So firm on His promise I'll stand

Bridge:

All of my life
In every season
You are still God
I have a reason to sing
I have a reason to worship

This is my prayer in the harvest
When favor and providence flow
I know I'm filled to be empited again
The seed I've recieved I will sow
